Spinal Tap A to Zed

Sun
Never Sweats, The (Megaphone, 1975): A ponderous concept
album that left Entertainment Weekly stunned. "Tap stumbles
big," its reviewer wrote, giving the album a C rating. Included
the debut of session drummer Peter "James" Bond and
keyboardist Ross MacLochness. "A late-blooming concept album
that only a Taphead could love, padded as it is with creaky period
pieces (Daze of Knights of Old), too-precious Donovan
knock-offs (The Princess and the Unicorn, The
Obelisk)," and twisted histories such as "Stonehenge."
(IST) Derek: "The album was basically just saying that the
empire was a good idea, that subjugating foreign peoplesthere
was nothing wrong with that." The title is a bastardization
of old saying that "the sun never sets on the British empire."
Derek, who wrote the title track, says he misheard it.
